K K SAXENA Vs. UNION OF INDIA

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE petitioner-herein Shri K. K. Saxena has filed this writ petition praying for modification or for setting aside the judgment and order dated 27. 9. 2000 passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal (for short `cat') Jaipur Bench, Jaipur by which the learned Members of the Tribunal were pleased to hold that the applicant was entitled to be considered for the post of Assistant Engineer (for short A. En.) after he was found medically fit for the post, by a duly constituted Medical Board. THE Tribunal thereafter disposed of the application of the petitioner with a direction to the respondents to consider the candidature of the applicant-petitioner herein for promotion on the post of Assistant Engineer against any future vacancy.

(2.) IN order to clarify the position it may be stated that the petitioner was functioning as Chief INspector of Work (for short CIOW) in the year 1994 and was posted at Jaipur. It appears that some vacancies were available for selection to the post of Assistant Engineer Group-B post on 13. 3. 1996 against which the petitioner also was considered and for this purpose he was allowed to appear in the written test which was conducted by the respondent, for such promotion. The petitioner successfully passed out this written test but the trouble arose for him as in the medical examination he was declared disqualified due to his weak eye-sight.
